Term
Non Vascular Plants
Definition
Rely on osmosis and diffusion to move water and other materials through the plant
Term
Vascular Plants
Definition
Rely on xylem and phloem to move water and other materials through the plant
Term
Angiosperm
Definition
Flowering plants that produce flowers and fruit and they depend on wind, animals, like bees, for pollination
Term
Gymnosperm
Definition

Term
Xylem
Definition
Transports water and other nutrients upward toward the shoots.
Term
Phloem
Definition
Transports sugar downward toward the roots.
Term
Monocot
Definition
Flower in parts in threes, leaves have parallel veins, bundles of vascular tissue are scattered (grasses, orchids, onions, lilies, and palms). 1 Embyo, 1 food supply.
Term
Dicots
Definition
Flower in parts in fours or five. leaves with branching veins, bundles of vascular tissue are in a ring (roses, cactus, peanuts, peas). 1 embryo 2 food supply.
Term
Roots
Definition
Supply plants with water and dissolved minerals from the soil, support and anchor the plant, and store surplus food.
Term
Shoots
Definition
(stems and leaves) support the plant botore dy, transport minerals between the roots and shoots, and store minerals.
